CONCLUSIONS: Lung ultrasound is feasible and useful as a rapid, sensitive, and affordable point-of-care screening tool to detect pneumonia and assess the severity of respiratory failure in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. In South Korea, there have been multiple confirmed cases related to local outbreak clusters, but there are no rapid, sensitive, affordable screening tools available to assess the presence of pneumonia, disease severity, or risk of respiratory fail-The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine. LUS performed on Day 4 showed a worsening of her pneumonia, with the lung aeration score of 5 points (Supplementary Fig. 5C ). In conclusion, LUS was feasible and useful for a rapid, sensitive, affordable point-of-care screening tool to detect pneumonia without radiation hazard and suggest the severity of respiratory failure for COVID-19 patients.	./cache/cord-320171-ifbpz42a.txt	./txt/cord-320171-ifbpz42a.txt
